Business Rules

My submission failed business rule 027 (BR027). What is the reason for this failure and what should I do?

Business rule 027 (BR027) failure occurs if the substance identifier in your IUCLID dossier does not match the substance identifier on the REACH-IT joint submission page. To avoid BR027 failure in your future submissions, see the following check list and carry out the steps that apply to your case.

Check that you have selected the correct joint submission in REACH-IT when submitting your IUCLID dossier.

Check that the EC number in your IUCLID dossier is the same as the EC number of the joint submission in REACH-IT. You can export the assigned EC number either from the REACH-IT joint submission page, from the Pre-SIEF page, or from the inquiry submission report page. Import the EC number into IUCLID and assign it to your reference substance, as specified in Q&A 1258, How do I download the EC number from REACH-IT and import it to IUCLID?.

If no EC number exists for your substance yet, check that the spelling of your substance name on the REACH-IT joint submission page is identical to the spelling in your IUCLID dossier section 1.1 IUPAC name. Pay attention to additional spaces and special characters.

If your substance is a multi-constituent substance (e.g. a reaction mass of…), make sure that all the constituents indicated in section 1.2 of IUCLID are identical to the constituents included in the REACH-IT joint submission page.

If you are a lead registrant of a new joint submission for a substance of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological origin (UVCB) with no valid pre-registration or inquiry number, and have tried the above mentioned fixes, please contact ECHA using the ECHA contact form to receive further instructions on how to successfully submit a registration.

Business rule 034 (BR034) failure occurs when you submit a spontaneous update instead of requested update. When your previous submission fails the technical completeness check (TCC), you are expected to submit a requested update. A communication regarding the TCC failure is sent to you via REACH-IT. You also receive an update request under ‘Tasks’ in your REACH-IT account with instructions on how correct the TCC and submit a requested update.

When you create your dossier update, you must tick the boxes 'The submission is an update' and 'Further to a request/decision from a regulatory body’.

Add your last submission number, in this case, the submission that failed the technical completeness check. In the box below, enter the communication number in the ‘Number’ field, as shown in the screenshot.

You can find the submission number and the communication number in REACH-IT under ‘Tasks’ and also under ‘Key documents’.

Business rule 35 (BR035) failure occurred because the last submission number you have indicated in your dossier is incorrect. To address the failure, you will need to indicate the last successful submission number for the particular substance in the dossier header in IUCLID, and then re-submit the dossier in REACH-IT.

You can find your previous successful submission number in REACH-IT by going to ‘Substances’ and searching for your registration using the substance name or EC number. The submission number is presented in the results page, as shown in the screenshot below (1).

If you are expected to submit an update due to technical completeness check failure, you need to use the ‘In progress’ submission number (2).

Assign the correct submission number in the IUCLID dossier creation wizard by ticking the box ‘The submission is an update’ and insert the last submission number, as shown in the screenshot (IUCLID desktop view and IUCLID cloud view)below

My submission has failed business rule BR038. What is the reason for this failure and what should I do?

Your submission has failed business rule 038 (BR038) because you already have a successful submission for the substance and you are expected to submit an update.

To address the failure, you need to assign the last successful submission number of the substance you are submitting the update for in the IUCLID dossier header. Indicate the reason for the update by choosing the appropriate update type, ‘Spontaneous update’ or ‘Further to a request/decision from a regulatory body’.

You can find your last successful submission number in REACH-IT by going to ‘Substances’ and searching for your registration using the substance name or EC number. The last successful submission number is listed on the results page, as shown in the screenshot below.

For a spontaneous update, carry out the following steps, as shown in the screenshot below (Desktop view and IUCLID Cloud view).

Assign the submission number in IUCLID dossier creation wizard by ticking the box ‘The submission is an update’ and inserting the last successful submission number that corresponds to the substance.

Select the type of update, ‘Spontaneous update’.

Select the appropriate justification for the update. Create a block by clicking the button and make a selection from the drop down list. If you select ‘other’, you are required to give the reason in the adjacent free text field.

For a requested update, refer to the assessment outcome communication sent to you via REACH-IT. You can find the communication on the submission page under the ‘Key documents’ tab. The communication provides full details on what information is missing from the dossier and a deadline by when you should submit this information.

For a requested update, carry out the following steps, as shown in the screenshot below (Desktop view and IUCLID Cloud view).

Assign the latest submission number in IUCLID dossier creation wizard by ticking the box ‘The submission is an update’ and inserting the last successful submission number, which corresponds to this substance.

Select the type of update, ‘Further to a request/decision from a regulatory body’.

Create a block by clicking the button and insert the annotation number that corresponds to the submission for which further information was requested (e.g. assessment outcome communication number XXX-X-0000000000-00-00/X). In the ‘Remarks’ field, enter your remarks as free text.

My submission failed business rule BR053. What is the reason for this failure and what should I do?

Your submission has failed business rule 053 (BR053) because the EC/list number in section ‘1.1 Identification’ your IUCLID dossier does not match the EC/list number of the inquiry indicated in section ‘1.3 Identifiers’.

To address the failure, you need to ensure that:

the substance identification in section ‘1.1 Identification’ of the IUCLID dossier corresponds to the substance identification associated to the inquiry number indicated in section ‘1.3 Identifiers’;

the inquiry number indicated in section ‘1.3 Identifiers’ has been copied/typed in the correct format.

You can find your inquiry number in REACH-IT by going to ‘Substances’ and searching for your inquiry using the substance name or EC number. The inquiry number (e.g. 06-0000000000-00-0000) will be listed on the results page.

I submitted a lead dossier in REACH-IT but received a business rule BR119 failure message. What should I do?

Business rule 119 (BR119) failure occurs when the lead registrant indicates in their dossier update that they will not provide the optional information (i.e. chemical safety report (CSR) and guidance on safe use (GoSU)) on behalf of its members although in the previous submission they had indicated that they would provide this information.

The following scenarios may trigger BR119 failure:

If the lead registrant initially indicated that they would provide the CSR and/or GoSU on behalf of all members of the joint submission but no longer wishes to do so, they should contact ECHA using the ECHA contact form and request the modification of the joint submission coverage. Before contacting ECHA:

The lead registrant should first ensure that the changes will not affect any members of the joint submission.

Members relying on the CSR and/or GoSU provided by the lead registrant need to submit a spontaneous update indicating that they will provide individual CSRs and/or GoSUs.

Once ECHA has performed the changes, the lead registrant will need to submit a spontaneous update.

When submitting the spontaneous update, member or lead registrants should indicate in the IUCLID dossier the submission type as ‘spontaneous update’, the ‘Justification’ select the reason ‘New or update of CSR or guidance of safe use’ as well as entering a clarification in the ‘Remarks’ text box.

While creating the dossier, we advise you to use the IUCLID Validation assistant plug-in to help you to detect business rules and technical completeness check failures in your dataset and dossier. For further instructions on how to use the validation assistant please refer to Q&A 0329.

My submission failed business rule BR130. What is the reason for this failure and what should I do?

Business rule 130 (BR130) failure occurs when a lead registrant submits a dossier update in which the joint submission tonnage band indicated is lower than the joint submission tonnage band for the previous submission. The tonnage band of the joint submission is derived from the submission type (IUCLID template) chosen for the substance when the lead dossier was first created.

The individual tonnage band(s) specific to the lead registrant can be indicated in the dossier header.

If the lead registrant wishes to lower their individual tonnage band, they can refer to Q&A 1300 for further instructions.

If the lead registrant wishes to lower the tonnage band of their joint submission, they can refer to the Q&A 1299 for further instructions.
